ISPA to meet with Ofcom over price rises

The number of voices raising dissent at the recently announced price rises on the BT IPStream Office and IPStream S ADSL products continues to increase. ZDNet is reporting that Ofcom and the ISPA (Internet
Service Providers Association) are set to meet to discuss the issue this Friday.

There are questions been asked by providers about the speed at which BT Wholesale is planning to implement the increases, and also of the calculations that form the basis of the Margin Squeeze
Test (MST). The MST is what appears to have triggered the price rises.
